the project final score: the missions score will act as a 19° juror of the technical jury,
therefore scores will account for 5.3% of the project final score. The objective of this
game was to make the hackathon more exciting, and help participants to successfully
complete each step of the project from beginning to end. It was also expected that
they use the mission results (videos, documents etc.) in the final presentation of the
project.
